Question

3. A mysterious metal medallion has a mass of 3,088 grams. Water is poured into a graduated glass container with a 10-by-10 cm square base with a water level of 53.0 cm. The medallion is dropped into the container and the water level rises to 54.6 cm. Find the volume and the density of the​

Answer 1

Initial volume:

• 10*10*53 = 5300 cm³

Increased volume:

• 10*10*54.6 = 5460 cm³

Volume of the medallion:

• 5460 - 5300 = 160 cm³

Density = mass / volume

Density is:

• 3.088/160 = 19.3 g / cm³
